Claim That The FBI Knew About The Bombing
The below is a transcript from part of one of the recordings Emad A. Salem made of a telephone conversation he had with one of his FBI handlers, FBI Special Agent John Anticev (MP3: ):
- FBI Special Agent John Anticev: But, uh, basically nothing has changed. I'm just telling you for my own sake that nothing, that this isn't a salary, that it's—you know. But you got paid regularly for good information. I mean the expenses were a little bit out of the ordinary and it was really questioned. Don't tell Nancy I told you this.
- FBI undercover agent Emad A. Salem: Well, I have to tell her of course.
- Anticev: Well then, if you have to, you have to.
- Salem: Yeah, I mean because the lady was being honest and I was being honest and everything was submitted with a receipt and now it's questionable.
- Anticev: It's not questionable, it's like a little out of the ordinary.
- Salem: Okay. Alright. I don't think it was. If that's what you think guys, fine, but I don't think that because we was start already building the bomb which is went off in the World Trade Center. It was built by supervising supervision from the Bureau and the D.A. and we was all informed about it and we know that the bomb start to be built. By who? By your confidential informant. What a wonderful, great case!
- Anticev: Well.
- Salem: And then he put his head in the sand and said "Oh, no, no, that's not true, he is son of a bitch." Okay. It's built with a different way in another place and that's it.
- Anticev: No, don't make any rash decisions. I'm just trying to be as honest with you as I can.
- Salem: Of course, I appreciate that.
- Anticev: And as far as the payments go, and everything like that, they're there. I guarantee you that they are there.

“Has anyone ever told you that you overplay your various roles rather severely, Mr. Kaplan? First you’re the outraged Madison Avenue man who claims he’s been mistaken for someone else. Then you play the fugitive from justice, supposedly trying to clear his name of a crime he knows he didn’t commit. And now you play the peevish lover stung by jealously and betrayal. It seems to me you fellows could stand a little less training from the FBI and a little more from the Actors Studio.”
—Ernest Lehman (b.1920)
“My heart burnt within me with indignation and grief; we could think of nothing else.... All night long we had only snatches of sleep, waking up perpetually to the sense of a great shock and grief. Every one is feeling the same. I never knew so universal a feeling.”
